Is it possible to declare a data class with an interface implementation in a programming language?

Answer from AI
In Kotlin, you can declare a data class that implements one or more interfaces. This is often used to create convenient DTOs with additional behavior defined in interfaces.
Example:
interface Printable {
fun print()
}
data class User(val name: String, val age: Int) : Printable {
override fun print() {
println("User(name=$name, age=$age)")
}
}
fun main() {
val user = User("Alice", 30)
user.print() // Will output: User(name=Alice, age=30)
}
Thus, a data class can implement interfaces without restrictions.
